She was the quintessential farm wife; she raised her family and helped on the farm alongside her husband. Her family was central in her life and taking care of them was her main goal. In 1940 they moved to San Francisco, CA before returning in 1945 to the family farm in Selfridge. Albin passed away on July 2, 1968.
